  • Publication number: 20090055460
    Abstract: A method and system for WYSIWYG editing of dynamic content on editable web pages. Generated content is content that is received periodically from a dynamic source. Generated content may be represented on an editable web page by instructions that describe how to generate the dynamic content. The generated content system presents generated elements in a non-editable manner while allowing modification of their instructions and also allowing complete editing functionality of any surrounding static content. Thus, the generated content system allows the user to include generated content in an editable web page in a way that clearly identifies the generated content during editing and still allows the user to modify the content.

  • Publication number: 20090055755
    Abstract: A representational editing system for WYSIWYG editing of editable web pages with embedded content elements. The representational editing system presents embedded content elements in an editable manner that represents their actual appearance on the web page. Typically, the representational editing system displays an image in place of the embedded content. The representational editing system enables users to modify editable attributes of embedded content in a WYSIWYG editing environment.

  • Publication number: 20080244740
    Abstract: A system for editing a web page includes receiving the web page in a normalized form, where the normalized form is independent of any browser form. The page may be displayed to a user, where the web page has been translated from the normalized form to a browser-dependent form, and editable by the user. The web page may be a Wiki or collaborate web page. Overall, described in detail above is a unified editing system for editing a collaborative web page is described. The collaborative web page having a normalized form that is independent of any browser form. The system displays the collaborative web page that has been translated from the normalized form to a browser-dependent form to a user, wherein the browser-dependent form of the collaborative web page is editable by a user. The unified editing system receives from the user the edited collaborative web page in the browser-dependent form. Other features and aspects of the invention are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5385641
    Abstract: In a three-stage process for the delignification of cellulose-containing raw materials, pulping is initially performed with a solution of concentrated aqueous acetic acid at an elevated temperature and under an elevated pressure. The resultant acetic acid-moist pulp is treated in a second stage with the aforementioned pulping solution with the addition of nitric acid and is then washed or extracted with water or with the pulping solution. In a third treatment stage, the thus-obtained acetic acid-moist pulp is treated with an ozone-containing gas.

  • Patent number: 5074960
    Abstract: Lignin contained in a cellulosic or lignocellulosic pulp product is removed by contacting the product with a gaseous medium containing ozone in the presence of a liquid agent which is a lower fatty acid, such a formic, acetic or propionic acid, having only a low solvent capacity for lignin; as a consequence of this treatment, lignin which is present in the product will be converted into a lignin derivative that has an increased solubility in the fatty acid and can be removed quantitatively by extraction from the lignocellulosic material. Purified pulp can thus be obtained with increased processing efficiency and without most pollution problems of prior art processing methods because the fatty acid used as the main constituent of the processing liquid in all stages of pulp production can be circulated counter-currently through the stages of the process with purification of the acid for recirculation only after its use in the digestion step where the normal starting materials of pulp production, i.e.
